The Earthbox is owned and operated by Whisenant Farms and the Whisenant Family and is the home of the Earthbox container growing system. The Earthbox is the product of a lifetime dream and years of diligent research by Blake Whisenant, the inventor and patent holder. The Earthbox is based on the gradient system as recognized by Dr. C.M. Geraldson, Professor Emeritus of the University of Florida.
Blake began work on developing a container for growing vegetables and flowers in the late 1980s. This work resulted in the Earthbox, a revolutionary new way of gardening and the Earthbox was opened in 1996. Since that time, thousands of home gardeners have attended the free, twice weekly classes held at the Center in Ellenton and gone home to grow superb vegetables or flowers.
Stop by and see our garden and we will be happy to show you the benefits of the Earthbox. We can make your gardening easier, more productive and more water efficient. More than 50 years of vegetable growing expertise come with every Earthbox we sell, and we do everything we can to put you “in the green”.

We’ve been using their Earthboxes for several years now, with great success. It helps us control fertilizer, insects, nematodes, and water year round. We move a dozen and a half boxes around to the best location for each plant. The beefsteak tomato we’ve found for west central Florida is their #91. Friends who live in deed restricted communities or who have small pool patios have followed our lead and raise vegetables in easy reach. We recommend this method whenever we can.
Great place to learn how to grow your own veggies and herbs. Very good at explaining how it all works, and they have classes to teach you. Can’t wait for my tomatoes to grow!
Love this place! We have such fun growing our own vegetables, berries and herbs. Earthbox staff is so helpful – we drive 50 miles past dozens of other nurseries and It’s so worth it!
Love this garden center, especially for my herb garden
I’ve been coming for years, just walking around is inspiring here. As a teacher, I brought kids to Wednesday’s how to set up your Earthbox and come back regularly to pick up plants, seeds and boxes. Fantastic service, beautiful plants, amazing concept, I couldn’t grow much without this place.
